by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece‘s Elbaf arc.

Summary

  • Shanks’s twin serves in the Holy Knights and is likely as strong as the Yonko.
  • Shanks’s twin shows high strength levels, suggested by his mission to recruit Loki.
  • Fans may soon witness Shanks’s twin unleashing his full strength, potentially involving Haki or Devil Fruit abilities.

The Elbaf Arc in One Piece series has left many readers anticipating eagerly, with the main cause being the arrival of a character whom fans have been yearning to see for quite some time. This figure was initially introduced in the narrative way back in chapter 907, and since then, has mostly remained on the periphery.

As the Final Saga started unfolding, it was clear to fans that this character would play a larger role. With all the hints Oda dropped during the Egghead arc, his participation in the plot was almost guaranteed. Now, with the commencement of the Elbaf arc, it’s evident that this person is crucial to the storyline. As many speculated, this particular character bears a striking resemblance to Red Hair Shanks and serves among the Holy Knights.

Shanks’s Twin And His Introduction

  • Shanks Is One Of The Strongest Characters
  • Shanks Twin Likely Has High Strength

Prior to the latest happenings in Elbaf, it was unknown to many fans that Shanks indeed had a twin brother. While speculations about this character and his possible relation to Red-Haired Shanks, the Emperor, had been circulating, a significant number of enthusiasts chose to disregard his existence, harboring various reservations. However, with the Elbaf arc of One Piece, it has been confirmed that Shanks does have a twin, and this individual is not only part of the World Government but also serves among the Holy Knights.

In One Piece’s Chapter 907, viewers witnessed this particular character making a trip to the Five Elders, located within the Pangea Castle’s Room of Authority, in the Sacred Land of Marijoa. The reason behind this visit was to discuss a specific pirate.

I want to talk to you about a certain pirate! – Shanks’s Twin

Previously, many fans believed that the character in question was undeniably Shanks, suggesting he wished to discuss Blackbeard’s recent unpredictable actions. Yet, it is now apparent to fans that Shanks played no part in the gathering at Marijoa, and instead, this individual turned out to be none other than Shanks’ very own twin.

In One Piece chapter 1134, Shanks’s Doppelganger ventured to Elbaf, where he was spotted undertaking a specific task. His objective seems to be locating and approaching Loki, the Cursed Prince of Elbaf, for a particular reason. This purpose appears to involve enlisting Loki among the Holy Knights and collaborating with him. It’s evident that stories about Loki’s might have spread far and wide because it seems no one is surprised by his strength. Also, considering the World Government has set an exceptionally high bounty on Loki – 2.6 billion berries to be precise – without him even being a pirate, this makes sense.

How Oda Hints At Shanks’s Twin’s Strength

Shanks’s Twin Is Teased To Be Strong Enough To Take On Loki

As a part of the Sacred Military Order known as the Holy Knights, it’s common knowledge that Shanks’s twin possesses immense power. He is among the most formidable figures in the One Piece universe, and rightfully so. The Holy Knights are an esteemed group, even feared by characters like Dragon. As Dragon puts it, conflicts like the attack on Marijoa or declaring war hold little significance. The true battle commences when the Holy Knights choose to act.

Our real war will begin once the Holy Knights are mobilized! – Dragon

It’s evident that Dragon respectfully acknowledges their adversaries’ potency, suggesting they could confront and challenge the Revolutionary Army. Moreover, if fans aren’t already convinced, Akainu’s concerns should be taken into account. He expressed worry about the Holy Knights influencing Marijoa post-Reverie since their power exceeds his or any Marine’s authority.

However, it’s not just through character positions that Oda subtly suggests the power of Shanks’s twin; there are other indications as well. Since it has been confirmed that Shanks’s twin is currently in Elbaf, negotiating for Loki’s services on behalf of the Holy Knights, many fans believe he now holds a leadership role within their ranks.

It makes perfect sense in this context that, since the previous leader of the Holy Knights, Saint Garling Figarland, has become an Elder, it is highly probable that Shanks’s sibling took over as the clan chief, thereby gaining more power.

Should I luckily win Loki’s heart, it’d undeniably place him under the influence of Shanks’s Twin, a situation that usually suggests that Shanks’s Twin is the more formidable one between them.

To rephrase: It’s clear that the Holy Knights were selected for this mission because of a specific reason – their strength. Since they are powerful enough to confront Loki, it’s logical that they would be sent to Elbaf on their own. If additional proof is needed, fans should look no further than One Piece chapter 1136, where the Holy Knights threatened Loki, stating that they would kill him and his pet if he didn’t cooperate. Given that they possess the ability to eliminate Loki, it goes without saying that they can hold their own in battle against them.

Is Shanks’s Twin Yonko Level?

Shanks’s Twin Is Likely On The Same Level As The Yonko

Based on the fact that Loki possesses an extraordinary cache of 2.6 billion berries, a quantity greater than Blackbeard had when he first became Emperor, fans can infer that Loki holds a Yonko-level power and has the potential to destroy the world as he boasts. The confidence displayed by Shanks’s twin in challenging such a formidable character indicates a high degree of strength or an equivalent power level. If Loki is indeed Yonko level, as seems undeniable given the progression of the story, then it’s reasonable to assume that Shanks’s twin possesses the same strength as the Emperors themselves.

Time will surely come when Shanks’ twin will have an opportunity to showcase his full might, leaving fans in awe at the immense power he wields. It’s worth noting that among all the God’s Knights, this character has been subtly hinted at more than any other by Oda, suggesting that Oda holds significant plans for him in the future.

Currently, spectators must patiently watch as the Elbaf arc unfolds, offering them the opportunity to witness Shanks’s twin in intense combat, revealing his power, particularly his Haki, or any possible Devil Fruit or Yokai abilities. This moment is inevitable since Luffy has already started his journey towards where the intruders are currently located, and a major battle seems imminent.
